The main idea was to find an unusual way of combining traditional Japanese elements with contemporary forms and objects. The biggest attraction in the dining hall is the over 9-meter-long sushi and drink bar, featuring 'sculpted rock' made from concrete, a black Japanese-style roof, and shelves with traditional joinery. Hanging in the center of the bar is the restaurant's logo, which glows with golden sparkles, an important detail, as the name 'Kintaro' means 'golden boy.' The bathrooms reflect a contemporary style, with forms and colors enhanced by green plants, decorative tiles, and large mirrors to visually expand the space. The 'Japanese Experience' room preserves a traditional Japanese aesthetic, designed for special events and unique experiences. All the furniture in this room is made from wood, the walls are textured, and warm colors dominate the space, with over 200 handmade origami cherry blossoms hanging from the ceiling.
